The article from MSN Money discusses the prevalence of scams related to the IRS's $1,400 stimulus payments. It warns readers about fraudulent schemes where scammers impersonate IRS officials to trick individuals into providing personal information or paying for fake stimulus checks. Key signs of these scams include unsolicited communications via email, text, or phone asking for personal details or payment to receive the stimulus. The IRS does not initiate contact this way for stimulus payments, nor do they request sensitive information through these channels. The article advises verifying any suspicious contact through official IRS channels, being cautious of any urgency or threats in communications, and never paying to receive a stimulus check. It also provides tips on how to protect personal data, such as using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and regularly monitoring financial accounts for unauthorized transactions.
